JALAPÃO SAFARI  7 DAYS

 
1º day - Friday : Arrival in Palmas, reception and transfer for accommodation at the Pousada dos Girassóis. ( or similar)
 
2º day - Saturday: This first part of the trip is done in good paved roads and takes about 3.5 hours, this will be the last few hours before we enter the tracks and unpaved roads in Jalapão. After lunch stop in the small town of Ponte Alta we will head towards the mysterious Serra Geral and leave civilization behind. Our first stop will be at Suçuapara Canyon, a refreshing place where water flows from cracks in rocks and the humidity is contrasting with the dryness of the landscape. After a couple more hours on the road Jalapão is finally at site, revealing all its greatness. Arrival at the end of the day at the Safari Camp, where our staff will welcome the guests, show the facilities and give some safety instructions and tips on how to deal with wildlife the lives on the area. Dinner and overnight at the Safari Camp.
 
3º day - Sunday:In the morning, after breakfast, there will be instructions on how to use the kayaks. The river beach in front of the Safari Camp is where we will start going down Novo River. Wild and pristine, Novo River is one of the last drinkable water rivers in Brazil. Its sandy bottom forms beautiful beaches allowing us to stop for swimming and probably see tracks of the many animals that live on its boarder. Lunch at the Safari Camp .In the afternoon, we will go to the famous Jalapão Dunes. Formed by golden color sand, this natural sanctuary is surrounded by a huge “Chapada Mountain” that changes its colors when the sun is going down on the horizon and also by a incredible forest of Buritis, a big palm tree, found only in the Savanna, it is home to several kinds of birds, parrots and to the big Blue Macaw, almost instinct in nature. The sunset, moonrise and the stars are simply unforgettable. Dinner and overnight at the Safari Camp.
 
4º day - Monday: We will be on the road all day long and will only return to the SAFARI CAMP at night. Besides all the beautiful landscape surrounding us we will visit POÇO DO FERVEDOURO. A powerful spring surrounded by banana trees planted by the ancient Indians that lived on the region. Due to the water pressure flowing from the underground, it is impossible to sink, giving the incredible sensation of floating on air. After all the fun and surprises provided by this incredible spring we will go to CACHOEIRA DA FORMIGA (30 min. from Fervedouro)a waterfall which forms a crystal-clear emerald green water natural pool, the mild temperature of the water is always a invitation for a relaxing swim and lots of fun. After lunch, departure to MATEIROS, a village where we can buy handicraft made. Return to the Safari Camp. Dinner and overnight at the Safari Camp.
 

5º day - Tuesday: Mirante da Serra (Mountain Belvedere).This wild and mysterious place is the most unexplored and beautiful “ Chapada Mountain” (mountains that are completely flat on its top) of the Brazilian Outback. Along the trail (four hour trekking) lots of beautiful sites can be seen including a great view of the Dunes and RIO NOVO valley. Pumas and Jaguars live in the area; sometimes it’s easy to see their footprints in the sand. Return to the Safari Camp for lunch. The afternoon will be free to enjoy the campsite and surrounds. Dinner and overnight at the Safari Camp.

 

6º day - Wednesday: After breakfast, we will start our trip back to Palmas. On the way we will visit Cachoeira da Velha, the biggest waterfall in Jalapão. Shaped like 2 horseshoes it has an amazing power. Behind its weather curtain lives a group of big Swallow birds only found in this area. After some pictures of the waterfall (its not possible to swim) we will head towards the LITTLE BEACH, an extremely pleasant place, with friendly shallow waters, a perfect place to end our journey.
